At a media conference in Seoul, Son, appearing at times to be holding back tears, said his decision to leave the Spurs was 'the most difficult" of his career and said the club was supporting him as he looks to move on to another team.
Spurs will face Newcastle United in a preseason friendly on Sunday in Seoul in what could be the final match of Son's time at Spurs.
"Before we start the press conference, I just want to share the information that I have decided to leave this club in this summer," Son said. "Respectfully, this club is helping me to my decisions. So I just wanted to share this information before we start the conference."
"I came to North London as a kid, 23 years old, very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English and leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment."
He continued his tribute by thanking Tottenham fans.

ENG vs IND, 5th Test Day 4 weather: Will rain disrupt the Oval thriller?
Three action-packed days at the Kennington Oval have set up the fifth and final Test between England and India for a dramatic finale. As the series stands at 2-1 in England's favour, Day 4 is being billed as the business end of the contest — one that could either level the series at 2-2 or see England clinch it a bowling masterclass from Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna on Day 2, Day 3 belonged to India's batting grit and flair. Yashasvi Jaiswal stood tall with a masterful century, leading India's charge towards a potentially match-winning lead. The real surprise, however, came from nightwatchman Akash Deep, who shocked the English bowlers with an aggressive counterattack. Contributions from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in the latter half of the innings further extended India's second-innings total, setting England a daunting target of 374 vs ENG, 5th Test Day 3: Highlights Just before stumps, Siraj struck with a lethal inswinging yorker to dismiss Zak Crawley for 14 — a vital blow that tilted the momentum in India's favour heading into Day the best news from Day 3, though, was the weather — after the first two days were frequently interrupted by rain, skies remained clear.

Ramsdale joins Newcastle from Southampton on season-long loan
Newcastle signed goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on a season-long loan deal from relegated Southampton on Saturday. Newcastle announced the signing on its website with the Premier League club's coach Eddie Howe calling the 27-year-old Ramsdale an exceptional goalkeeper who adds further quality and international experience to our squad. The England international was previously No. 1 at Arsenal but then lost his place and joined Southampton on a four-year contract. He could not prevent the club going down last season, when he made 30 appearances in the top division. Ramsdale, who has five caps for England, is looking forward to hearing the support of the home fans as one of their players, rather than as a visiting goalie. It's great to be here. I've always loved coming here and I've seen how passionate and loud the fans can be, he said. I've always loved playing at St. James' Park. I've not always had the greatest of results, but when the fans get behind you, it's some place. Newcastle begins its Premier League campaign away to Aston Villa on Aug. 16.
